Newcastle news: Eddie Howe interested in move for 22-year-old winger
Briefly

Newcastle is actively seeking a new right winger, with Johan Bakayoko identified as a leading target. Eddie Howe is particularly interested in signing Bakayoko, who has attracted interest from various European clubs. Last January, Newcastle did not pursue him due to PSR concerns, which have now been resolved. Bakayoko could potentially be available at a reduced price since he will enter the final year of his contract soon. However, Newcastle appears to be closing in on a deal for Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest, casting doubt on Bakayoko's potential signing this summer.
Newcastle aims to sign Johan Bakayoko as a right winger, having identified him as a key target despite a previous lack of pursuit due to PSR concerns.
Eddie Howe sees Bakayoko as a viable option, especially since the player's contract situation may allow Newcastle to acquire him at a lower price.
Bakayoko's interest in joining Newcastle is significant as they offer Champions League football, and his contract's final year makes a potential deal attractive.
Despite Bakayoko's underwhelming recent performance, Newcastle may now focus on signing Nottingham Forest's Anthony Elanga instead of pursuing Bakayoko this summer.
